Step into the wild and learn the essential skills of bushcraft in this hands-on weekend course. Aimed at beginners, this immersive experience will teach you fundamental survival techniques, from tool safety to fire lighting and shelther-building.
This weekend is about learning through doing - building confidence, resilience and connection with nature. Whether you’re camping under a tarp or just testing the waters, this course is a perfect introduction to outdoor self-reliance…are you ready to take on the wild?!
(Equipment and Saturday evening meal provided - you will, however, need to bring essentials such as lunch, drinks and your personal camping gear of choice. You have the option to camp under your own tarp or tent, attend as a non-camper during the daytime…or stay in one of our pre-erected bell tents (subject to availability))
